Ode to a big brother...

Today would have been my big brother's 11th birthday!  He passed away before I came to live with my mommy and daddy.  But I know how much mommy and daddy loved him that I thought I'd post some pics just for mom & dad!  So they can remembers the brother ;)  We can't wait to see you in heaven brother!

Happy birfday big brother!  WE LOVE YOU!

Love ~ little brother Milo ;)

Love day!

       We try to love each other ALL year long!  But mommy still wanted to put a little something up here!  Even though daddy is the only one who reads our blog ;)

Super fun!

Hi guys!  I did something super fun, for a super sweet pup!  Giving feels sooo good ;)  Especially when it's for a cutie who lives in NY!

One day mommy was reading a story on Life with Dogs, and it took her to a link where she read about a pup who was rescued.  The story made mommy cry with happies because the pup was rescued!  Well then she read the story to me & daddy....and well we all just fell in love!

And we knew right then and there that we needed to send this sweet little pup a little something special!  So the threes of us wents shopping to buy little Sassy a present!

I had so much fun!  Thinking about what this little girl would like....we started to pick up everything, a stuffed toy, some yummy treats (some with carrots because she likes carrots), and some bones too!  Then mommy found a SWEET valentine blankie and pillow too!  And she wrapped it all up and mailed it to sweet Sassy!

I can't wait for her to get it!  You can check Sassy out at the link below!  But BEWARE....your heart will never be the same ;) 

Sassy - The Small Wonder!




Sending boxer kisses your way!
Love,
Milo

You say it's my birthday.........

Oh it was almost a month ago?  Hey guys!  Mom's a little late in posting pics from my birfday party at playgroup!  Even my sissy is in the pics!  Enjoy ;)  I'm a big boy now!  1 year old!  I'm growing big and strong, and would make my big brother SO proud if he were here!

                  Me & Sissy!  We're both big kids now ;)  We played all day at playgroup that day!

                                    Wait! We're not done with pics? 

                           By this time I was done with picture taking! ha!



Sending you Boxer love!

Little man

Well this little guy (hanging here with his sister) is going to be 1 in 4 days!  Time has flown by!  Now he hasn't been with us for a year, his "gotcha" date is April 8th, but he was born on the 20th 1 year ago!

We're excited to celebrate him this weekend!

Happy birthday sweet Milo!  You are growing into such an amazing pup!  Everywhere we go we get stopped by everyone, they can't believe how cute you are & how well behaved!   It's like being with a celebrity!  We were used to that, being that your brother was quite a celebrity too!  But I think you've even out done him in this area!  You are a lover!  You love people AND all other dogs, and you don't understand when one or the other just pass you by without so much as a sniff or wave!  ;)  It's a joy being your mom buddy!

Love,
Mommy ;)

Maybe his name should be...spot?

Pics!

Because pics are awesome ;)

Milo oh Milo where have you been?

So life gets busy, and the first thing to go (mom says) is blogging!   We've had a whirlwind summer!  From my first time camping, to getting hives and finding out I have allergies, moving to my new house, to obedience training (passed!!) and getting my first puppy cold!  And now we're prepping for another camping trip!  Dr says I'll be fine since I'm on allergy medicine, so hopefully no more hivesies for me!

Here are some pics from mom!
                                                   
                Playing with my girlfriend Abby on the graduation day!

                                       
               Getting my Sunday morning snuggle on with dad!

                     Lookin out my bedroom window ;o)

                         Looking at mom ;o) Ain't I handsome?

                        Meeting new friends at the beach! 

 
It's been a great summer!  We've been having some crazy heat!  So mommy & daddy don't let me get crazy until it's dark.  We'll have some pawesome camping pics in a few weeks!

Keep your paws up!  Boxer style ;o)
Love,
Milo

I'm a BIG boy!

Mom still can't figure out how to turn my pics right side up ;o)

On the move.......

Well we've done it!  We've moved!  I'm no longer a condo pup!  I'm now a townhouse pup with a BACKYARD!! yahoo!!  Mom didn't have a lot of pics of me helping move in, uh because I was working so hard, yes that's it!  Actually mommy took me to playgroup for 2 afternoons while they moved things, and when I came out of playgroup they took me to my new home!  It's so fun! 

                                            This is me sleeping on the floor! 

                                The floor is nice & cool!  And the carpet is nice and dark! Sometimes I can be a dirty, dusty dog (hey I like rolling in dirt what can I say?) and now my dirt won't show up on the carpet as much! yay!

       My second favorite spot is the kitchen!   Here I am getting ready to help mom cook up some grub!

Mommy & daddy have started taking me to school!  The teacher and everyone like me a lot!  I'm a good boy!  They laugh because sometimes, towards the end of class, I fall asleep!  School is hard work I tell ya!  And with class being from 7 - 8 and my bed time is 7:45, well it's hard for a little guy to keep his eyes open!

And last but not least - to show how handsome I am ;o)  My playgroup friend took this picture of me.  They all love me there!

Remember keep your paws up!  Boxer style!

Crazy busy!

Well mom says things have been crazy busy!  So she hasn't had much time to post!

The good news is we're getting a new place to live!  Mom keeps telling me about "no stairs" to climb anymore, and something about a "yard" for me to play in!  I don't know what that is, but mom seems super excited about!

Here are some pics to show what a big boy I am getting to be!

Hmmm not sure why mom posted pics side ways, but she can't seem to figure out how to get them corrected.  So she's gonna leave them!

I'm 5 months old now!  Here are some of my favorite things to do:

1.  I love puppy park!  I have a best friend, her name is Jilly, she's a labradoodle!  We love to bite each other on the scruff!

2.  I love play group!  I've only been twice, but it's the best!  And mom says she likes it because a good puppy is a tired puppy.  Pfffttt whatever!

3.  I love camping!  But camping doesn't love me!  We are trying to figure out what I'm allergic to, pine trees maybe?  But I still had fun, even though I got lots of bumpies on my skin when we came home!

4.  I love my mom and dad!  They're the best ;o)

Keep your paws up ~ boxer style!

Milo

King of all I see!

                          And boy do I see A LOT!  This is part of my back yard ;o)
                          What a lucky pup I am!


Keep those paws up!  Boxer style!

Milo's mommy posts

I love reading blogs.  I especially love reading "dog" blogs.  I came across a post today, from the blog "Pittieful Love".  They put their pittie to rest in February.  They are still dealing with the grief of losing what they call their "Heart Dog".  

On their blog they have a post that talks about their grief and where they're at now with it.  And I was touched by a scene from a movie that they quoted, it totally resonated with me:



Becca (Nicole Kidman) has been numb with grief since Danny, her 4-year-old, was killed by a car. Now, eight months later, her mother, Nat (Dianne Wiest) — whose son, Becca’s brother, died at 30 — is helping Becca to put away, finally, the little boy’s things.

Becca and Nat carry the milk crates of Danny’s stuff down to the basement, and put them in the corner with a few other things Becca has put aside.

Becca stands there, taking it in. Danny’s been reduced to a small corner of stuff in the basement. She lets out a breath, then turns to her mother.

BECCA: Does it ever go away?
NAT: What.
BECCA: This feeling.
They lock eyes. Nat can see she actually wants an answer. Maybe for the first time ever.
NAT: No. I don’t think it does. Not for me, it hasn’t. And that’s goin’ on 11 years.

(Beat)

It changes, though.

BECCA: How?

Nat: I don’t know. The weight of it, I guess. At some point it becomes bearable. It turns into something you can crawl out from under, and carry around — like a brick in your pocket. And you forget it every once in a while, but then you reach in for whatever reason and there it is: “Oh, right. That.” Which can be awful. But not all the time. Sometimes it’s kinda … not that you like it exactly, but it’s what you have instead of your son, so you don’t wanna let go of it either. So you carry it around. And it doesn’t go away, which is …

BECCA: What.

NAT: Fine … actually.

                          Missing you Buggie boo!

Love,

Mommy

Happy Mother's day!

Just a couple of pics of my favorite boys! 

                    Me with my boy who's waiting for me in Heaven!

                 My sweet new boy!  Who gave me beautiful purple tulips for Mother's Day this year!


Love you both!  My life will never be the same without YOU Rocket!  10 yrs & 2 months of being by your side!  I've never known a better boy!  Love you Buggie! I miss you BIG!

Milo - mommy loves you so much!  And I can't wait to spend life with you & daddy!  And I can't wait to see what God does in our lives together!

Happy Mother's day to all!

Mama said...pack your bags Milo!

Yep that's what she told me Saturday morning, pack your bags Milo!  Now I thought she was kickin' me out, but it turns out we were going on a road trip!  Mama and Daddy took me to La Jolla for an over nighter ;o)  They said they wanted to start me out young taking me on trips, especially since I'm such a good boy, but they wanted to train me to be even better on trips!

So the 3 of us jumped in the car and headed down south for some r&r!

                              Here's mom & I - Dad was behind the wheel!

We drove for a long time, well to me it seemed long, but really it was only an hour!  Then daddy parked and we walked around a bit!  Here are some pics!

                      Me & Dad, checkin out the sea lions on the rocks!

                          This is after I finished my lunch by the beach! 

                      Here's my Dad and I checkin' out the ocean!

Once we finished walking around mommy and daddy decided they were hungry!  We met a nice doggy walking and we asked her daddy if there was anything good to eat where I could go too!  And he said YES!  So we went to a place called Cody's so mom and dad could have brunch!  And while they ate, I sat like a good boy under the table!  The nice lady who seated us brought me a bowl of water AND a cookie!!  Boy was I happy!

Then we left and headed to our hotel!  If you're ever in the area, check out Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, they love dogs there!  Or maybe they just loved me ;o)  Anyhow I was so pooped once we got there that this is what I did.......

Once I was done sleeping I got out to play, there was a nice grass area right outside our hotel room!  Perfect for potty trips!   Here we are just hanging out on our grass!

Then my uncle & auntie came over to the hotel and we all had room service!  Well, ok just the people had room service!  I ate my kibble!

Then it was lights out because I was one tired pooch!

             (me with my head thrown back, my favorite way to sleep!)


More about our trip tomorrow!  I don't want to overload you on pictures of my cuteness!

Keep those paws up!  Boxer style!
